Review of Joshua

Joshua (I) (2002)
9/10
Spiritually Moving
19 April 2002
Simple, heartwarming story of latter day Jesus mingling with a small town and changing the lives of everyone in it. Couple of hard jabs at modern day organized religion are a nice touch as Joshua shows the townsfolk that love of God and your fellow man are all that's needed to gain lasting fulfillment. This movie is low budget to be sure but blessed with some fine performances, especially Tony Goldwyn as Joshua and Kurt Fuller as Father Pat Hayes. Expect to get a few lumps in your throat during several very moving and personal scenes that may or may not strike a chord with you. A very uplifting movie and heartily recommended. I give it 10 stars just for the sheer purity of it's message.
